MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN DUPAGE AND WILL COUNTY, ONE CLIENT AT A TIME

Accidents happen—even in Naperville, Woodridge, and the surrounding Chicago suburbs. Distracted drivers run red lights and strike other vehicles and pedestrians. Truck drivers merge into lanes on interstates like I-355 without looking, crushing the passenger cars next to them. Impatient drivers speeding through sleepy suburban towns like Lisle crash into bicyclists and runners.

From our experience, many parties involved in these Naperville accidents sustain serious and life-altering injuries that require surgery and months of physical therapy.

You’ve seen these stories in your local newspapers and TV stations before. But you never expect it to happen to you.

Until it does.

I had an excellent experience working with attorney Jonathan J. Svitak at Shannon Law Group who provided an outstanding legal support after I suffered a serious shoulder injury from a flu shot. From the very beginning, Jonathan demonstrated a deep knowledge of the law, strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome from my case . His professionalism, compassionate, and integrity made a stressful situation much more manageable. It was clear that he truly cared about my case and my well-being . He was always responsive to my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire legal process . I’m incredibly grateful for his help and highly recommend him and his entire team at Shannon Law Group. They all went above and beyond to provide exceptional legal representation.
Response from the owner:Hi Kala, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience working with our team. It was a pleasure to represent you throughout your vaccine injury case. All our best to you and your family!
Mariann Mattia
I had a vaccine injury (Frozen shoulder) in September 2022. I was googling the web to see if a flu shot can cause frozen shoulder. A slew of websites showing vaccine attorneys that could help file a claim. At first, I thought it was a joke but figured, what the heck, all I have is time, so why not look into it? So, I contacted three attorneys. Two said they could not help me, and Jonathan Svitak told me I would be happy to take your case, I am not afraid of a fight. Jonathan set up realistic schedules (Said it was about a three-year process) and kept me in the loop the whole way. As negotiations were under away, Jonathan and I communicated, and I gave him a figure I would be happy with. Jonathan not only got me that figure, but he got me more than that figure. Jonathan is not only a great attorney, but a caring individual as well. Several times on our calls he got to know me not only as client, but as a person as well.

Jonathan's paralegal Heather was always quick to answer my emails and was proactive in making sure I knew how the case was proceeding. I never felt out of the loop with Heather on my team.

To make matters even sweeter, the owner of the firm Joe Shannon called me himself to welcome me and tell me I was in good hands with Jonathan. We talked at least a 1/2 hour and shared about our lives and when he found out I was a foster parent, he shared about his family. Then in the mail, I received a card, with encouraging words and shared that he and his family would be praying for my family. WOW!! How amazing is that?

Also, on my birthday I was surprised to get a gift card from the firm saying happy birthday. Talk about customer service.

You can feel safe and secure in Shannon Law Group's hands, not only as a client but as a family too.

Oh, and my case was settled in 2 1/2 years. Six months earlier than anticipated.

Thank you, Jonathan, Joe and Heather, I appreciate you all.

Shannon Law group is outstanding, I contacted them about my vaccine injury and I was very skeptical. They put my mind to rest with their explanation of the injury and possible settlement.. I had to do very little legwork, once I got all my information to them they took the ball and did an outstanding job, they got me a very pleasant settlement to which I am very thankful. I highly recommend them for any of your vaccine injuries as they are very professional and get the job done., thank you again. Chuck Mountain Lake Mn.

Should I hire a Naperville personal injury lawyer near me?

Naperville Personal Injury Lawyer ConsultationThe short answer is it depends. If you suffered only minor injuries like neck pain in a fender bender, it may not be worth hiring an attorney to handle your claim. Sometimes, you’ll end up with more money in your pocket if you DON’T hire a lawyer.

Why is that?

Personal injury attorneys only make money when they come through for you. When you sign a contract with them, you’re authorizing that they can receive an agreed percentage (or a contingency fee) of your monetary award.

So, if the insurance company offers to resolve your claim for $10,000, your lawyer will often receive between 20% and 33-1/3% of the settlement. Oftentimes, people with minor injuries resolve their claims without an attorney, which saves them money.

At Shannon Law Group, we only take cases where we know our services add value to our client’s life. Many of these lawsuits involve traumatic injuries or wrongful death as a result of commercial vehicle accidents. In these scenarios, insurance companies will make lowball offers to keep more money in their pockets. They hope you don’t hire an aggressive personal injury law firm like us—because they know we’ll fight for your family until you get what you truly deserve.

Studies conducted and published by the insurance industry show that people represented by injury attorneys often receive 3x more compensation.

If you’re uncertain whether you should hire an attorney, it doesn’t hurt to meet with one. Schedule a free consultation with the Shannon Law Group. We’ll sit down with you and discuss your options. Call us today at (312) 578-9501 to get started.

How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Illinois?

Illinois Statute of Limitations Personal InjuryIn Illinois, injured parties must file their cases before a specific deadline. This law is called the statute of limitations. If you wait too long to file a case, you may be barred from recovering compensation.

So, how much time do you have? While time limits vary, you generally have 2 years to file a personal injury lawsuit.

However, you shouldn’t wait until a few months before the deadline to contact a lawyer. Evidence supporting your case can be lost to time. Witnesses can move or pass away. Information like phone records may be unavailable.

Don’t wait to hire a personal injury attorney in the Naperville area—especially if you sustained permanent injuries.

How much compensation am I entitled to in my accident case?

Accident Case CompensationThe amount of compensation you may be owed depends on the damages of your case. In this section, we breakdown two types of damages in personal injury lawsuits: economic and non-economic damages.

ECONOMIC DAMAGES

Economic damages are easy to calculate. It includes any and all monetary losses you’ve suffered because of your personal injury. They may include:

  • Past and future medical treatment expenses. This compensation includes the gross amount of your medical bills, including what your health insurance company paid. It also covers expenses like crutches or wheelchairs, as well as future medical expenses.
  • Past and future lost wages. How many hours at work have you missed from doctors’ appointments or recovery time? You deserve to recover any lost wages from being unable to go to your job. If you’re unable to return to work, you deserve to receive compensation for that loss of future earnings.
  • Property damage. If your car was damaged in an accident, you’re entitled to compensation. At Shannon Law Group, we’ll resolve your property damage claim for free when you hire us for your personal injury claim.
  • Loss of earning capacity. Let’s say you were studying to become an electrician before your injury. Now, you have to work from home due to your injury. Your wage is significantly less than what you would have earned as an electrician. You deserve to be compensated for your loss of earning capacity due to the accident.
  • Additional out-of-pocket costs. You may be compensated for any additional out-of-pocket costs related to your injury, from remodeling expenses to medical supplies ordered from Amazon.
NON-ECONOMIC DAMAGES

In Illinois personal injury cases, noneconomic damages may include losses you can’t easily calculate or measure, such as:

  • Pain and suffering. How much physical and mental pain do you endure every day as a result of your injury? This loss also includes the pain you’ve experienced or the depression you’ve endured since the impact of the crash. As attorneys, it’s our job to provide convey the amount of pain and suffering you experience daily to a jury panel. We show them footage of a grueling physical therapy session or the crutches you hobbled on for a year. A jury may award damages for hundreds or thousands of painful moments you may experience in the future.
  • Loss of a normal life. This type of compensation is defined as “the temporary or permanent diminished ability to enjoy life.” Many people with serious injuries are no longer able to do hobbies that they enjoyed, such as hiking, playing sports, or walking the dog. That’s a huge loss for some folks, and a jury may award them for that loss.
  • If you experienced permanent scarring or disfigurement from an accident, you may receive compensation for that as well.
  • Punitive damages. These damages are awarded by a jury to punish the defendants for their egregious conduct and deter other corporations from behaving that way in the future. Currently, there is no cap on punitive damages in Illinois.
